Cement Worker of the Month- Judy Fiori
Judy Fiori By ED PANY Mrs. Fiori was born in Lock Haven. Her family later moved to Skippack, where she attended and graduated from Perkiomen Valley High School in 1971. Answering a newspaper ad, Judy was hired at the Keystone sales office in King of Prussia as a secretary clerk at a salary of $7,000. Keystone later had an office in Allentown before moving to Airport Road in East Allen Township. Judy recalled, “Our office had 15 employees and we were responsible for all cement sales. Our president was Gary Pechota and V.P. for sales was Bob Aichele.” Mrs. Fiori has seen Keystone ownership change to a Spanish company, and the current owner Elementia of Mexico. Today, Judy is the company sales and marketing administrator. Keystone orders flow through their corporate office in Harleyville, S.C. She works closely with Logistics Director Mike Greto and a sales team of Carmin Attanasio, Thord Person, Aaron Leighow and Steve Dozor. All fine men. Mrs. Fiori said, “We are proud to serve customers in Pennsylva-
nia, New Jersey, New York, Delaware, Maryland, Connecticut and Ohio. We have supplied cement to many projects including the World Trade Center, Freedom Tower and the Panama Canal.” “With the advent of the computer, I am able to complete much of my work in my Montgomery County home.” Mrs. Fiori has a remarkable cement career. She is the company’s senior employee with 48 years of dedicated service. Judy is a refined professional with a friendly demeanor, which has enabled her to work with many customers. I asked her to reflect on her career. She replied with emotion, “I have enjoyed working with many fine people but am sad to see the possible sale of the company.” It was an honor to speak to Judy and listen to her company experiences. She has been married for 46 years. Bob, her husband, has had a long career in television production. She spends her leisure time reading and sewing. The friendly couple resides in Schwenksville, Montgomery County. We wish Judy Fiori and all of our friends at Keystone continued success and a bright future.
Veterans honored at Northampton ceremony By JASON KAMERY At the Memorial Lot in Northampton, veterans and members of the community gathered together on Sunday, Nov. 10 to honor those who served our country. Larry Schlittler, the commander of Post 4714 Veterans of
Foreign Wars in Northampton, started the address to the crowd by thanking everyone for joining them as they recognize veterans for their unwavering service to America. “Across this great nation and throughout the world, Ameri-
cans will pause on Veterans Day," Schlittler said, “To honor our brave fighting men and women who have underwritten our freedom by their duty, honor and selfless service. We recognize Continued on page 14
NASD highlights the dangers of Vaping, social media By KERI LINDENMUTH On Wednesday, Nov. 6, the Northampton Area School District and the Center for Humanistic Change teamed up to teach parents about the dangers of drugs, alcohol, and social media. A series of presentations and lectures, focusing on everything from vaping to the Safe2Say app, were held at the high school for interested parents and community members.
The Center for Humanistic Change’s presentation on current drug trends raised a lot of interest, questions, and even concerns among parents. Although the presentation focused on the dangers of hookahs, edibles and opioids, many parents in attendance were concerned about vaping, which has grown in popularity among young people. According to the CHC, vaping pods are not only cheap (99 cents
in some convenience stores) but smoking some pods, like the Juul, Continued on page 2

Talk of opioids also raised questions. About 85 percent of the world’s opioid use is in the United States. Prescriptions have quadrupled in only 10 years. According to the CHC, 80 percent of addicts start with a prescription. Just as new vaping products are being released, new opiates are also being released at an alarming rate. One includes Kratom, which is a powder still available in convenience stores.
The CHC took some time to educate the public on Narcan, which can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. All first responders are now carrying the life-saving medication, as are an increasing number of teachers and even retail workers. Should a loved one experience an overdose, the CHC encouraged people to call 911 and not perform CPR unless instructed to. That is because some opioids can be passed through the skin or even the air, which may result in the Good Samaritan overdosing as well.

Moore Township Hosts Annual Land Preservation Open House By JASON KAMERY The Moore Township Land and Environmental Preservation board hosted Dawn Gorham of the Wildlands Conservancy on Monday, Nov. 11 to discuss the preservation of Moore Township’s natural and woodland areas. “What I do is land protection, so in that we protect and preserve greenspaces that are vital to the Lehigh Valley’s environmental health,” Gorham said. “We also do a lot of greenway and trail development work, connecting nature communities by protecting linear corridors, open space and pathways that connect us to the natural world. We also do river restorations and watershed restorations to help improve the water quality and wildlife habitat and drinking water.” Through the township and the Wildlands Conservancy, landowners can apply to the Moore Township Open Space Program
and the Wildlands Conservancy conservation easement program to prevent the development of their land and assure that it will only be used for agricultural purposes. “The conservation easement is a legal agreement between a land owner and a land trust that continues in perpetuity,” Gorham said. “So the land trust holds an interest in the property, while at the same time the land owner continues owning that property. The restrictions for conservation easement are designed to protect the conservations values of that specific property. So a conservation easement is adaptable and is really tailored toward the specific property you are looking at. The land trust is obligated to make sure the conditions of the easements are being met in perpetuity.” Each year the Wildlands Conservancy would contact the land owner and walk the property to

make sure the legal agreement is being upheld. The conservation easement also stays with the property including through inheritance or sale. “With the conservation easement there are potential tax benefits if the easement is partially or fully donated,” Gorham said. “You can have an income tax deduction and there is an expanded deduction for donating a conservation easement that is above and beyond a normal charitable donation. There is also potentially a reduction in your taxable estate. For many years it was renewed year after year and a few years ago it was made permanent. That raises the maximum deduction that the donor can take for donating their conservation easements from 30 percent of their adjusted gross income to 50 percent in a year. It also stretches out the amount of years you could take that deduction from six to 16.” Moore Township covers all the costs of the program for its residents. For those who are interested in starting the process or learning more, they can visit the Moore Township community website or call 610-759-9449.

that is made up of plasma and various cells such as red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. The plasma is water, proteins, glucose, amino acids, vitamins, mineral salts, hormones, antibodies, oxygen, urea, and I am sure a lot more. It is pushed through our bodies by the heart, and brings nutrients and oxygen to our tissues. It also takes away waste and carbon dioxide from tissues. Before I go further, let me ask how many of us would want to drink from a dirty river stream? If I was to venture a guess, the answer would be no one. The reason, of course, is that drinking toxic unclean water could potentially make you sick, right? Well, how healthy can our bodies be if our glands, organs and tissues are continually “drinking dirty blood?” (The last thought brings a vision of a vampire chugging a glass of dirty blood only to spit it out and say, “I’m not drinking that!”) I know how strange this may sound but it really strikes me that life-giving blood can contain “stuff” that shouldn’t perhaps be circulating around our bodies to begin with, yet once inside may be getting into places it shouldn’t.

Eastlake style home - Frank Hesch, owner.
Governor Wolf Historical Society’s 39th Annual Christmas House Tour Submitted by CAROL BEAR-HECKMAN Plans are underway for the 39th Annual Christmas House Tour. The Governor Wolf Historical Society will open six private historic homes and four early buildings on Saturday, Dec. 7. The homes will be open from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. This year’s theme is “Artistic Dates and Documents,” featuring dated frakturs, early birth certificates, old family bibles, dated quilts and more. The Home News will feature one of the homes each week until tour day. The house is an Eastlake style home built in the late 1800s.
The restoration process began in 2014 upon the passing of the owner’s Grandmother, who with the owner’s Grandfather, purchased the home in 1962. The restoration began with the opening of the staircase and installing the restored railing, crafted in 1922, which had been previously installed in the Elks Lodge in downtown Allentown. There are original brass light fixtures in the house both on the second floor rooms as well as the stairway ceiling. In the parlor there are multiple details with interesting pasts.

Gab over by Pete The Fence G. Ossip Wow, just six weeks 'til Christmas! Stores sure were busy this past weekend, cars everywhere, not for me. A traditionalist, I wait till December, take one holiday at a time, otherwise you loose the importance of each holiday . . Election day last week had some long lines at the polls. . . In Moore Township, lines were consistant all day, as some poll workers never got a chance to vote until the end of the night. . . Good turnout and new voting machines were the cause, but I'll take it! A machine that actually prints out your ballot seems to me the fairest way to count votes, you can't replace a printed paper ballot. . . Cold weather seems to be setting in, so it's time for sweaters, long johns, and time around the old pot belly stove. Can't say as I'm ready for winter just yet, but I reckon we can't stop it. . . Football fans will see a big game Sunday as Eagles face off against the Patriots. . . and Penn State Nittany Lions host the Indiana Hoosiers at Happy Valley this Saturday, coming off a loss, they'll need to win for sure. . . Seeing a lot of deer along the highways lately. . . this can be deadly and not just for the deer, be careful, look ahead. . . From October to December it is their mating season, they're not thinking straight. . . it is the most dangerous time of the year as Pennsylvania is ranked number one in total deer crashes in the nation. . . Gotta go now, cleanout the gutters.

sconces, circa 1915, were previously gas and the pan chandelier is from 1910. The foundation of the home is stacked stone. The current owner is in the process of converting the original, slate-lined cistern into a wine cellar along with an entire restoration of the kitchen. The kitchen and third floor are the only remaining rooms that need to be restored. A special restoration was the upstairs bathroom that includes the tub that was installed in a late 1930s remodel. The bathroom door is actually the original front screen door, which was restored to include frosted glass. During the restoration the original brick chimney was discovered in the bathroom. All design elements installed in the house are meant to highlight the age of the house, including the early 1900s swan curtain tie back hooks in the parlor that were once in the Waldorf Astoria in New York City.

Grow UR Biz Rule of 3
I love to see a man or woman in uniform. It reminds me of what it means to live in America and to enjoy our basic freedoms. So many of my friends have served in the military as well as my husband, who served in the Navy and the Army for 22 years. Last year I was invited to see the Singing Sergeants at a church in Allentown. I was invited because one of Bath’s former residents is a Singing Sergeant and was performing with the group. We loaded up the car to go see Taylor Armstrong sing. The voices were amazing, the songs were heartwarming and the performance was over the top. Today, while I was working on my clients' Facebook pages, I discovered a video on the Singing Sergeants page; a video made by the USAF Heritage of American Band salute to three veterans. It was so good; I posted on my business page Caroltalks. The band surprised veterans outside their homes with “Off we go into

When doing some research about military service, I ran across a story about how not to get overwhelmed serving in the U. S. Marine Corps. It’s called the Rule of 3. The U.S. Marines are trained to make split-second decisions based on incomplete information, in life-or-death situations. So, each Marine has three things to worry about. The functional version of the rule dictates that a person should limit his or her attention to three tasks or goals. When applied to strategizing, the rule prescribes boiling a world of infinite possibilities down to three alternative courses of action. Anything more, and a marine can become overextended and confused. The marines experimented with a rule of four and found that effectiveness plummeted. I believe we can apply the Rule of 3 to our small businesses. One of the things I have learned over the years from my clients is that many have too many irons in the

fire going in too many directions. We try to narrow it down or as I might call it “tunneling” which is taking those 20 wonderful ideas/ tasks and tunnel it into prioritizing just three. Don’t get rid of the 20, just work on three at a time. As a small business leader, continuing education is a must. This week, we take a lesson from the Marines as we celebrate and honor veterans throughout our country. Hope you had a great Veterans’ Day and thank you for your service and your lessons.

Submitted by SAMANTHA SEYMOUR AKC Reunite, the largest non-profit pet identification and recovery service provider in the United States, is pleased to announce that Northampton County is now equipped with

or civil disasters, joined forces with local American Kennel Club dog clubs and dog lovers to present an emergency trailer to the Northampton County Emergency Services team. “Our organization is extremely thankful to AKC Reunite and the Kennel Club of Philadelphia for providing us with such a substantial tool for our community,” said Thomas E. Guth Jr. of the Northampton County Emergency Management Office. “The Northampton County Emergency Services team is now better equipped to help pets and pet owners if disaster strikes.” The AKC Pet Disaster Relief trailers help to create a safe, temporary home base for at least 65 pets during the first 72 hours after a disaster is declared. The trailers house and deliver essential animal care items including crates and carriers, AKC Reunite microchips and an AKC Reunite universal microchip scanner, bowls, collars and leashes as well as fans, lighting and a generator, cleaning supplies and maintenance items. These supplies can be used as co-location shelters, where people can evacuate
with their pets, as well as emergency animal shelters for displaced animals. “This is the 77th trailer donated through the AKC Pet Disaster Relief program. The trailer will provide resources to assist the Northampton County when responding to natural disasters in their community,” said Tom Sharp, AKC Reunite CEO. “Safe, efficient pet sheltering solutions are crucial following a disaster, and we are pleased that an AKC Pet Disaster Relief trailer will be available as a vital tool.” The purchase of the trailer was made possible by a $100,000 donation from the Kennel Club of Philadelphia earlier this year. The funds from this donation were specifically allocated to provide eight AKC Pet Disaster Relief Trailers to counties within New Jersey and Pennsylvania. This trailer is the second of the eight from this group and will provide materials to help the Northampton County Emergency Office be prepared for potential disaster. “The AKC Pet Disaster Relief trailer will help the Northampton County Emergency Services team better as-
sist their community in times of disaster,” said Wayne Ferguson, President of the Kennel Club of Philadelphia. “Our association is honored to be able to bring such an important resource to this organization.” Learn more about how to get involved in AKC Pet Disaster Relief at www.akcreunite.org/ relief.

Northampton Borough Council ‘excited’ about Rental ordinance progress By KERI LINDENMUTH Northampton Borough Council expressed pleasure with how the borough’s rental inspection ordinance is progressing. During their meeting on Thursday, Nov. 7, it was announced that 202 units were inspected by code officer Keith Knoblach in November. Since the ordinance went into effect in January, over 400 licenses have been issued. Councilwoman Judy Kutzler, an advocate for the ordinance, said she is “really excited” about this progress. However, there are currently 50 to 60 individuals who have yet to respond to the ordinance and schedule their inspections. Attorney Steven Goudsouzian asked council whether they wanted to “immediately initiate litigation” or give them “one last chance.” Councilman Tony Pristash motioned that property owners who have not responded should have ten days to do so before the borough proceeds with litigation. All of council was in favor of this motion. “With over 1,460 apartments in the borough, [having] 50 to 60 that did not respond is a pretty good result,” said Kutzler. She said she hopes these prop-
erty owners respond in time. “We do not want to go to court and I am sure they do not want to go to court.” In other news, council asked Police Chief Bryan Kadingo to evaluate whether Juniper Court be designated a one-way street. This comes at the request of a resident of Howertown Road, who asked that Juniper Court from Howertown Road to Limestone Alley be made a one-way road in an easterly direction. When cars approach on both sides, some drivers are forced to reverse onto Howertown Road, which can be dangerous. Following Kadingo’s evaluation, Goudsouzian said the borough should ask for an engineer’s report. Finally, members of council offered their respects to the late Bill Halbfoerster, editor emeritus of The Home News. Halbfoerster passed away in October. “It was sad to see the passing of Bill,” said Councilman Ed Pany. “He was a friend of this borough.” “We will always be grateful.” Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. echoed Pany. “He gave us very positive articles,” he said. “He made things good, easy, and positive.”

Stories From My Heart by Cynthia Snyder-DeLuca
Time of Year It is the time of year when the cold wind blows, bringing in the winter snow. It is the time of year when the shorter days grow dark and the leafless trees stand stoically stark. It is the time of year when those who are homeless fear the cold, wind, and sleet, praying for a place to sleep. It is the time of year when they bow their heads and say an extra prayer, asking for help from above. It is the time of year when God is busy listening, His eyes often filled with tears, glistening. It is the time of year when He is hoping others, all His children, who are sisters and brothers will search their hearts, and do what is right; every day and every night. It is the time of year to remember the many blessings, always professing our love for Him above. Plenty to eat, water to drink, the warmth of a home, a bed to rest, living and enjoying life at its best. It is the time of year to come together, to make a difference that will last forever. Give what you can; touch a heart, love one another, and discover that we are all part of one big family, a family, that gives, forgives and loves unconditionally. It is the time of year.
Freezing Your Credit
Submitted by STEVE GARDNER The sheer volume of data breaches makes all of us vulnerable to identity theft. Placing a freeze on your credit is one of the most effective ways to protect yourself from identity fraud – when someone uses your information to open accounts in your name, or even take over your existing accounts. Here’s what to know before
you start the process. First, you will have to freeze your credit with each of the three major credit agencies: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. You will also need to create passwords and PINs for each, so have a filing system for retrieving the information if you need to unfreeze your credit in the future. If you are placing a freeze for other family members, you will need their Social Security numbers. Be a fraud fighter. If you can spot a scam, you can stop a scam. Visit the AARP Fraud Watch Network at www.aarp.org/fraudwatchnetwork or call the AARP Fraud Watch Network Helpline at 1-877-908-3360 to report a scam or get help if you’ve fallen victim.

Overflowing With Thanksgiving
The lives of Christians should be overflowing with thanksgiving according to Colossians 2:6-7, “As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.” The Greek word for “abounding” means “to superabound, to be in excess over and above—overflowing.” Christians should be overflowing with thanksgiving! We should be, “Giving thanks always for all things unto God” (Ephesians 5:20). We are commanded, “In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” (1 Thessalonians 5:18). God has given us innumerable spiritual and material blessings for which our hearts should be overflowing with thanksgiving. Even if we had nothing materially for which we could thank Him, we still deeply owe the Lord thanks for providing our salvation! Some years ago during the Thanksgiving season I was expressing thanks to the Lord. My heart was overflowing with thanksgiving to Him for all that He had done for me throughout my life. Suddenly I became aware that I was singing the words and melody of a chorus that I had never heard before, “Lord, I thank You for all You have done. Father, thank You for giving Your only Son. Thank You Jesus for dying for me. There—on the cross of Calvary.” Ever since then, we sing that chorus in our congregation with our hearts overflowing with thanksgiving. We invite you to join us in giving thanks to God this Thanksgiving season during any of our church services. Come overflowing with thanksgiving as Psalm 100:4-5 instructs us, “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good...” --Written by the late Pastor Daniel E. Lundmark

Daniel Chiavaroli President Council of the Borough of Nazareth (11/14) LEGAL NOTICE Notice is hereby given that the Council of the Borough of Nazareth intends to adopt the following Ordinance at its regularly scheduled monthly meeting to be held on December 2, 2019, at 6:00 P.M., E.S.T., at Nazareth Municipal Building, West Center and Church Streets, Nazareth, Pennsylvania. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 6, “CONDUCT”, OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE BOROUGH OF NAZARETH, NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA TO ESTABLISH A CURFEW FOR MINORS IN THE BOROUGH OF NAZARETH. SECTION I: BE IT ORDAINED AND ENACTED by the Borough of Nazareth, in Borough Council assembled, and it is hereby ordained and enacted by the authority of the same, that Chapter 6, of the Code of Ordinances of the Borough of Nazareth, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, is hereby amended to add the following Part: Part 7 Curfew §701. Purpose. The Council of the Borough of Nazareth, recognizing the problem of crimes committed by and against juveniles during the nighttime and believing that it can be dealt with more effectively by regulating the hours during which minors less than 18 years of age may remain in public places and certain establishments without adult supervision and defining
more clearly certain duties and responsibilities upon those who have the custody and responsibility for the care of such minors, hereby enacts this Part for the purpose of promoting the general welfare and protecting the general public through reduction of juvenile violence and crime within the Borough of Nazareth, promoting the safety and welfare of the Borough' s citizens under the age of 18 whose youth and inexperience renders them particularly vulnerable to becoming participants in criminal activity and in being victimized by perpetrators of crime, and fostering and strengthening parental responsibility for children. §702. Definitions. In this chapter, the following definitions shall apply: AFTER HOURS – The period of time between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. on Sunday through Thursday nights and 12:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.

Conduct of Parents. No parent shall knowingly permit any minor to remain in or upon any public place or establishment AFTER HOURS, unless the minor is engaged in activity permitted in §703 of this Part. "Knowing" shall mean knows or has reason to know. §705. Conduct of operators of establishments. No operator of an establishment shall knowingly permit any minor to remain upon the premises of such establishment AFTER HOURS. It shall be a defense to prosecution under this Section if the operator promptly notified the police department that a minor was present at the establishment and refused to leave after a request to leave by the operator. §706. Rules and Regulations. The Mayor is hereby authorized, from time to time, to promulgate such rules and regulations, including the extension of hours for special occasions, as in the Mayor’s opinion shall be necessary or useful in the enforcement of this Part.

that all veterans have given something of themselves for this country. Some have given all, laying down their lives to defend the freedom we hold so dear. This afternoon as we reflect our blessings of liberty, we ask our heavenly father that we remain faithful stewards of freedom that we have been granted.” After receiving a benediction from the Catholic War Veterans Chaplain, veterans shared words and poems about Veterans Day. A bell was rung 11 times, not only for veterans but also as a reminder of the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month, which marked the end of World War 1. It was originally known as Armistice Day, later changed to Veterans Day in 1953 to recognize all veterans. A 21-gun salute was fired by the veteran rifle detail, then a playing of Taps followed by Amazing Grace on the bagpipes. The event concluded with Schlittler’s closing remarks. “It is the veteran, not the preacher that has given us freedom of religion,” Schlittler said. “It is the veteran, not the reporter that has given us freedom of the press. It is the veteran, not the poet that has given us freedom of speech. It is the veteran, not the campus organizer that has given us the freedom of as-
sembly. It is the veteran, not the lawyer that has given us the right to a fair trial. It is the veteran, not the politician that has given us the right to vote. It is the veteran who salutes the flag, it is the veteran who serves under the flag and to be buried by the flag.” Schlittler also told the crowd that the Memorial Lot would have a few additions come Memorial Day. The howitzer that was at the VFW Post at 1204 Main St. will be on display, as well as the bell that was rung for this ceremony.

What initially comes to mind is pesticides, chemicals, medications, industrial solvents, and other toxins and poisons yet I think it’s much more than that. Now you would be correct that our organs filter out these unwanted items. The gut brings the unwanted items right over to the liver and the kidneys do their job also. Breathing out toxins happens with every breath. It’s quite amazing really. Now you might say that blood is in fact clean as the kidneys, liver, and all the rest filter all the garbage out. And I would almost agree with you. However, wouldn’t you say that kidney disease and liver disease itself seems to be on the rise? If the dirty blood is continually being filtered, doesn’t it make sense that at some point the filtering organ could potentially become ill? It makes sense to me on a very basic level. My guess would be to somehow not end up with dirty blood from the beginning. In this day and age I am not sure how you do that exactly. A further note is the fact
www.HomeNewsPA.com
that “chronic dirty blood” does indeed lead to plaguing and hardening of the arteries. The dirty blood in this instance is more so from the fats and sugars that we consume that are chronically circulating, damaging, and being deposited where they shouldn’t. To the point, clogged arteries are a result of this dirty blood. All this said must sound kind of strange to you. It does to me in fact. Who talks about dirty blood? Nobody. But perhaps this is a different take to drive home a similar point. That being, we all could help our own bodies function better just by changing a few things…like improving the quality of our life-giving blood. Now I cannot say how we clean the blood like we would wash blankets or clothing. I do feel we could dilute thick blood by drinking a lot more water. That can’t hurt. How about using more natural self-care products? Or maybe stop using aluminum laden antiperspirant daily. What about eating more vegetables and fruit? That has to have a cleansing action. Would you agree that avoiding caffeine, alcohol, energy drinks, sugar laden beverages, and over the counter drugs would help improve the situation as well? It has to from my natural perspective. My hope is you will give some thought to what we shared and see how you yourself can benefit. Remember, you do not have to be sick to get healthier. My best to you. "Natural Perspectives" is a health commentary only and does not claim to diagnose and/or make treatment recommendations. Always seek the advice of your health care professional.
